“Ninah Cummer believed in gardens as
spaces where all are welcome to be inspired, to connect with nature and, most
importantly, to connect with each other,” states Mary Watson, volunteer and
Open Days coordinator for the Cummer Museum.
“We look forward to showcasing our historic gardens alongside those of our
gracious hosts for this year’s Open Days Garden Tour.”
